DAVAO DEL NORTE, July 22 (PIA) - - Police Provincial Director, Police Senior Supt. Samuel Gadingan announced the new requirements for the registration and renewal of firearms registration.
PSSupt. Gadingan said that any qualified person who wants to register their firearms or renewal of their existing registration must first secure License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) per Republic Act 10951 or the Comprehensive Firearm and Ammunition Regulation Act.
According to RA 10951, LTOPF can be applied by a Filipino citizen, who is at least 21 years old and has gainful work, occupation or business or has filed Income Tax Return.
The requirements for the license are psychiatric test, drug test, gun safety seminar certificate, finger print, National Police Clearance (R2), and court clearance.
The act also states that the license must be renewed every two years; while the firearm registration must be renewed every four years.
Gadingan disclosed that the payment for the license and registration will be through registered banks.
“Unlike before that the personnel from the police office will receive the payment, all fees will paid through the banks,” he said.
Gadingan said that one of the factors of the license is to avoid fictitious firearm registration and corruption in the system.
He revealed that to disseminate the policies, the Davao del Norte Provincial Police Office (DNPPO) will conduct tomorrow (July 24) an Education Caravan at the provincial barracks, which will assemble stakeholders and media. One of the speakers for the caravan will be PNP Regional Director Wendy Garcia Rosario.
Based on the records of the DNPPO, the province has 8,319 firearms; 7,496 of which were renewed as of December 2013. (PIA 11, Michael Uy)
